CHARLIE COOPER (See How They Run / This Country / Avenue 5) • Friday Rewind
emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with CHARLIE COOPER, originally episode 473 from 2022-09-14.Original writeup:A long awaited one right here, as long term listeners will already be aware of how big a fan Pip is of This Country... Charlie was one of those responsible for the whole thing (along with his sister Daisy May), but obviously NOT ONLY that... As you'll hear, there's a ton going on with Charlie, including a starring role in See How They Run alongside some insanely great acting talent (none of which is lost on him), and together he and Pip cover all things fantasy football-style casting, the Tom George comfort animal, the process of ideas and realising them, refining scripts on the go, working with Daisy and Tom, his roles in Stath Lets Flats and Avenue 5 (in front of the camera or in the writers room), and everything else. A deep one which covers the fun of it all alongside the hard work involved.

NATALIE IMBRUGLIA • 'Algorithm' out now! (Beth Brennan from Neighbours / Firebird / Torn) #694
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the star of stage and screen NATALIE IMBRUGLIA!For those of a certain age who grew up in a certain era, Natalie will be like a familiar friend or relative. Neighbours was one of the biggest Australian exports around the early 90's and essential after-school viewing on one of the 4 or 5 channels the UK had on terrestrial TV. Natalie played Beth Brennan, but later made a transition to music superstar with the undeniable hit song 'Torn' - a single that has survived very well through the ages. It's a pleasure to have her here in studio with Pip catching up on all things including all of the above, emerging as an incidental mental health advocate, recording processes, and all sorts of awesome stuff that maybe you're not expecting. It's a really great one, this - oh and also, you'll get to hear Natalie's reaction to Pip's bold, bold claim he played guitar on 'Torn'. No spoilers here.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureONLINEINSTAGRAMBETH CALLS OF THE WEDDINGTORNSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDB Hosted on Acast.

AUNTY DONNA (Australia's favourite surrealist comedy group!) • Friday Rewind
emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with AUNTY DONNA, originally episode 357 from 2020-12-09.Original writeup:Have you heard of Aunty Donna yet? Chances are you are a diehard dyed in the wool Auntyhead, but perhaps you may have only just seen that Netflix square scrolling sideways in your field of vision as recent as today - or maybe this is the first time you’ve heard the word Aunty and the name Donna together full stop. Well prepare to either get to know the gang much better, or make some new best friends, as Pip catches up with three of the crew! You’ll hear a ton from their early days right up to now, and this will ensure that you are well versed in all things Donna - covering Run The Jewels with times tables, going from podcast to stage to screen, Dominos Pizza (and a gang of fast food snack trivia), tall poppy syndrome, fanbases, physical humour, finding the truth, being present, “whatever’s funniest” and the relentless search for perfection in TV production, as well as a bunch of behind the scenes bits and pieces besides. Gems from every angle.

HANNAH WALTERS • 'Amazing Grace' coming soon... (Matriarch Productions / A Thousand Blows / Adolescence) #693
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the wonderful actor, producer and all round legend HANNAH WALTERS!Hannah's appearance is a long time coming, some might even venture to say overdue, but this is someone who is of course always welcome. A really fun and also very focused chat which hits on so many of the points you would hope for and very likely so much more, including the powerful work put out by her company Matriarch Productions (co-founded with husband Stephen Graham), how to navigate the desire to act alongside parenting and being married to a full time actor, the very delicate dance of accents, and her pivotal role in the (at time of publishing) upcoming 'Amazing Grace'. So much goodness in here and just a solid classic DPP episode. Enjoy!

KONNIE HUQ (Cookie & The Most Annoying Boy In The World / podcasts) • Friday Rewind
emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with KONNIE HUQ, originally episode 278 from 2019-07-17.Original writeup:The weather conditions at the time of podcasting (monsoon season) seem to make for a perfect sit down and chat session with Pip and Konnie, as the two hunker down and address a whole gang of pertinent issues and situations - which starts quite literally moments into the conversation. This all sets the tone for some extremely entertaining and very mind opening topic tackling, which includes such menu items as the smoking ban and how we all adapted, the issue of stuff and things and the accumulation of possessions, moving house to a shoebox (with kid in tow), social media and the multitude of attitudes towards it (including where they stand on it all), the idea of manners on social media and how people conduct themselves, minorities, sexual preference, change and evolution in society, being the first Bangladeshi presenter of Blue Peter, slow progression, the bullshit filter of being a parent, the importance of nomalising inclusivity, pasta tangents and of COURSE, her own podcast ‘Switch Off’ and forthcoming book ‘Cookie And The Most Annoying Boy In The World’! SO MUCH GOODNESS. Listen in!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureONLINEINSTAGRAMPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITTERPIP IMDB Hosted on Acast.

STAMMA FEST PODCAST • a Q&A with Jessie Roux fielding questions from awesome young folks #692
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week is a celebration of INTERNATIONAL STAMMER AWARENESS DAY, recorded at Stamma Fest 2026!A wonderfully different episode this week, as Pip joins hosting duties with the glorious (previous guest!) JESSIE ROUX to answer questions and just have a nice hangout with some of the younger folks involved in Stamma Fest. You'll very quickly detect that this episode is more about the community vibe, support network and representation that comes with such an event and organisation, and less about the fact that there's a huge and fabulous TV star in attendance (although come on, that does add to the greatness!). Not to mention the fact that we're hearing from younger people who stammer - voices we don't hear from nearly as much as we should. It's a really supportive, present, and inspiring atmosphere in this one, and a very welcome break from the regular podcasting schedule. Here's to more of these voices in the future... Huge thanks to everyone at Stamma, the young people involved, and Jessie for all being amazing. INTERNATIONAL STAMMER AWARENESS DAY is on the 22nd of October!PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureSTAMMA IGSTAMMASPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDB Hosted on Acast.

SUZY EDDIE IZZARD (The Tragedy Of Hamlet / Watson / Dr Jekyll) • Friday Rewind
emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with SUZY EDDIE IZZARD, originally episode 168 from 2017-09-13.Original writeup (for context, this is from 2017, and now it is 2026 - so what follows is 9 years old, at time of this Rewind publishing):This week Pip is joined by EDDIE IZZARD! Comedian, actor, marathon man and all round champ Eddie takes time from his current press junket to sit down with Pip for a proper chat - not a three minute soundbiter, no no no... This is a wonderful one, covering - of course - his current film 'Victoria And Abdul' (alongside acting royalty Dame Judi Dench), which triggers all manner of talking points in bright and breezy fashion... Some amazing facts and gossip about the true story behind the film are revealed, and later Eddie talks candidly about his insane marathon running achievements and the mindset involved, and of course his standup career gets a good going over - all this tied in with a truly inspiring look at his transgender identification and all that has entailed over the years. Comprehensive to say the very least - get into it, enjoy and share it at your nearest opportunity.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureONLINEINSTAGRAMPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITTERPIP IMDB Hosted on Acast.

LEILA FARZAD • bring the truth and unblock the emotion (I Hate Suzie / Black Mirror / The Decameron) #691
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by the absolutely glorious actor LEILA FARZAD!Leila's been on a huge journey in carving her own path in the wide and weird world of acting, a journey that some might have simply clicked and saved at any part of it and called it a day. But it's a real treat to hear how it's all turned out (and indeed continues to play out in the present), and to have that reminder that it isn't all luck and the hands we're dealt - this stuff takes a huge amount of thought, risk, skill and time. Hear about how Leila has worked on all sizes of screen as well as stage, found methods to unblock emotion, and had the unique experience of having a place to call home in Iran as well as the UK (or as Pip's unintentional phone autocorrect would have it, "ENGLAND" - don't worry, it all gets explained in the first few minutes, way to go phone). It's a really lovely conversation and a nice extended one too, so get settled and enjoy hearing from a true great.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureIMDBBLACK MIRROR: JOAN IS AWFULI HATE SUZIEINSTAGRAMSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDB Hosted on Acast.
